*Invite to 1 of the most important events of the year*

Hey folks, if yall didn’t know by now, the world is getting way more uncertain than ever.

Whether is it cuz of AI, mass layoffs, huge market uncertainty, wars, disruption, society shifts etc…

*Its more important than ever to prepare for massive changes in the coming months & years.*

This’ll help you to:
- Take advantage of what’s coming
- ⁠Protect yourself for risks before it’s too late (I REALLY don’t say this to FOMO but things have been silently happening)
- ⁠Learn where to focus on in the markets & business space
- understand the most strategic skills to double down on (not just “AI” pls)

So if you want, my good friend, the legendary May Sim, aka the top western astrologer in Asia, is organising her next forecast event.

She privately consults CEOs, leaders, & managers, and tens of thousands of people have attended her forecast events because of 1 reason:

*She has been frightening accurate.*

At 19, we counted 800 no's daily.

I had joined a street-sales company where we counted 800 to 1,000 no's a day. Rejection was not an occasional setback. It was part of the work.

That experience changed what rejection meant to me.

Those no's were not wasted. They taught us to disqualify, handle objections, deal with difficult people, and keep going without making every answer personal.

The yes is visible, but it is not where most of the learning happens.

Most capable entrepreneurs know this logically, yet one quiet month can still make them shrink. They stop inviting people, soften the offer, or hide inside more preparation because another no feels too personal.

That creates a painful loop.

Fewer invitations create fewer conversations. Fewer conversations create less feedback. Less feedback makes every future invitation feel even heavier.

The best salespeople are not paid for the yeses. They are paid for the no's they are willing to go through.

Rejection is not always a verdict on your value. Sometimes it is simply the practice that helps you recognise the right yes.

The next time you hear no, write down what it taught you before deciding what it means. That keeps the lesson and drops the shame.

If your business has gone quiet and you cannot see whether the real problem is your offer, marketing, or sales process, I can help you diagnose it.

We will identify the real bottleneck and map the clearest next move for your business. If I am not the right person to help, I will tell you honestly.

Last week, I recorded a super intense podcast with May Sim, Asia’s top Western astrologer.

May has advised established entrepreneurs, senior leaders inside Fortune 500 companies and government associations. Tens of thousands have also attended her forecast events.

We spoke about:

👉 The future of AI for business owners and employees
👉 The skills we’re developing to prepare for what’s coming
👉 The #1 competitive advantage we’re helping our private clients build
👉 Her predictions for business, markets and industries
👉 How to do more than survive the next few years and actually enjoy them

The conversation was so useful that I’m already updating my investment strategy 😂

Facebook deleted a guy making 6 figures a month.

No warning, no reason given, and nobody to call.

He's a friend of mine. He came back one day and the account was simply gone, and besides word of mouth, most of his clients used to come from there.

His business didn't drop to zero because he has other things running. But watching it happen did something to me.

I went home that night and asked myself a question I'd been avoiding for years.

Which part of my business is sitting on top of one thing I don't actually control?

My marketing lives on platforms I don't own. My list sits inside software I don't own. Even my delivery runs on someone else's servers.

None of that is wrong, and I'm not about to go and build my own Facebook.

But there's a real difference between using something and not being able to survive without it.

The people I know who got hurt these past few years weren't lazy or unlucky. They were fully dependent on one channel, one platform or one client, and nobody notices that until the thing disappears.

Here's the audit I ran on myself, and it took about fifteen minutes.

→ Write down where your last 10 clients actually came from.

→ Circle any source that disappears if you get banned tomorrow.

→ Whatever you circled is the part to start reducing this quarter, before you need to.

✅ Every business has a single point of failure. Most people just haven't gone looking for theirs yet.

I recorded this conversation with May Sim, Asia's top Western astrologer. She's privately consulted and taught hundreds of established entrepreneurs, senior people inside Fortune 500 companies and government associations, and tens of thousands of people have sat through her forecast events.

We spent an hour on where AI is really heading, what's shifting across the markets and industries, and the skills worth building before things get shaky.

I pay for software I could rebuild myself.

It's a scheduling app, costs me about 150 to 200 dollars a year, and there are already versions of it out there doing more or less the same job.

With AI I could probably put my own version together over a weekend.

I'm still not going to do it.

Switching costs me a weekend of setup, a migration, and a week of small annoyances, and none of that is worth 200 dollars to me.

It's a boring little decision, and it taught me the most useful thing I've thought about this month.

✅ People rarely leave because someone else is better. They leave when staying becomes harder than going.

Which changed how I look at my own clients.

I'm not the best business coach in the world and I've never pretended to be. There are people out there with better frameworks, better marketing and much bigger names than mine.

My clients stay because I know their nuances. Their values, their preferences, how they like to be pushed, what they told me they wanted two years ago and quietly changed their mind about since.

Starting over with somebody new means explaining all of that again, and most people would rather keep the person who already gets it.

So if you're busy worrying about whether you're the best in your space, that's probably the wrong thing to be worrying about.

Depth of relationship beats being slightly better at the thing.

I spent 11 years coaching people before realising I was making one big mistake:

I kept doing the thinking for them.

They left each call with an answer, but returned the next week with another question.

Across 150+ clients and 1,200+ students, I’ve identified 5 levels of coaching, training and mentorship.

Most people stop at Level 1.

Click here for the full 5 levels & breakdown so you can use it yourself.

P.S. I also compiled my favourite coaching questions for each level into a simple checklist.

It works whether you’re a coach, trainer, leader, manager, or simply want to support people better.

Reply #checklist and I’ll send it to you for free.

I was an investment trainer, and it worried me.

Not the market itself. What worried me was watching people lose money they had spent years earning, and it usually wasn't because the strategy they learned was wrong.

They just couldn't execute it. Some of that was psychology, some of it was skill, and most of them quietly assumed the second part would come free.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately, because plenty of people I speak to are nervous about their jobs right now.

When someone gets nervous about their income, they tend to look at two doors. Start something of their own, or learn to trade their money.

The strange part is how many of them call the first door risky and the second one safe.

Both of them carry real risk. That isn't the useful distinction.

The useful one is how much you actually control. In your own business you choose who you work with, what you sell, what you charge, how you market it, and how hard you push in any given month.

In the market you put your money down and wait. You can be completely right about a company and still lose for reasons nobody saw coming.

I'm not against investing, and I invest myself. But if you're deciding where to put your next 12 months of effort, put it somewhere your effort actually changes the outcome.

✅ Most people aren't bad at business. They've just never tried the version where they get to set the rules.

Found out today that Baby K has hand, foot & mouth disease.

He’s currently resting at home now after the doctor’s visit, but the funny thing is:

Even though he had fever & vomitted 2 nights in a row, he was still happy, playing & cheerful throughout!

I wanted to remind all of you on this lesson that I've been sharing over the past week:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbcXBauTdZK/

Have a great week ahead all :)

The biggest problem with Tony Robbins' programs & other seminars isn't what happens at the event. It's what happens after.

I say that as Tony Robbins' #1 affiliate in Asia in 2019. I sold $100K worth of tickets in a single two-week campaign. I still go to his events, and in August 2022 I attended Business Mastery, a USD$10,000 program.

So this isn't an attack on him, or on his events. I genuinely love them.

You leave on a high. Every idea makes sense, every strategy feels obvious, and for a few days you feel like a completely different entrepreneur.

Then you get home, and nothing actually changes.

I lived that exact loop for about five years before I started Master Implementers. Seminar after seminar, and I'd go home inspired every single time.

I implemented almost nothing. I built nothing.

I've said this before on my own channel: you can learn every tactic and strategy in the world, but if you don't master what's internal, your beliefs and your mindset, you'll never succeed.

✅ Information and inspiration don't change a business, only implementation does.

That's the whole reason Master Implementers exists. Not to give you one more strategy to collect, but to help you build on what's already natural to you, and actually install it.

You don't need another event.

You need to implement the one you just left.

You got this 💙

The Tony Robbins Book I Read Before Dad Passed

My dad passed in 2017, and something about how I handled it still surprises people when I tell them.

I wasn't emotionally crushed.

I know how that sounds. Most people expect grief to look a certain way, and when mine looked different, a few assumed I was in denial. I wasn't.

The real reason goes back further than that day. Before my dad passed, I'd already read Tony Robbins' Unlimited Power, back in my army days, during free time in the bunk. One idea from that book never left me. He wrote that in some cultures, people actually celebrate when a loved one passes, not because the loss doesn't matter, but because it's all about how you respond.

That idea had already been tested by the time my dad passed. In an earlier hard season with someone I love, I'd already decided to be the one who walked in with something to lift them, not something to lean on them for. So when my dad passed, being the light for the people around me wasn't new. It was already how I showed up.

When family and friends came, I found myself thanking them instead of falling apart in front of them. That was gratitude, not distance.

I still believe gratitude is the most powerful emotion we get to choose. You cannot be grateful and resentful in the same breath. And so, when life hands me that choice, gratitude is the one I keep reaching for.

It's also why, when I work with entrepreneurs today, we always start with the inner game before any strategy or system. What you build follows how you respond.

My entire audience was a few hundred friends. I still won.

In 2019, Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi and Russell Brunson opened their new program to affiliates. A USD$2,000 product, 50% commission.

The application form asked for my follower count. The dropdown went up to a million. I had a few hundred, and most of them were my friends.

I applied anyway, because the most I could get was a no.

No list and no ad budget, but I offered one thing nobody else did. Sign up through my link and I'll send you my notes from the whole training.

Two weeks later I was top 40 in the world and number one in Asia.

Nothing I did that fortnight needed permission, a budget, or an audience. It needed me to decide that a no was survivable.

The happier I got, the more I made (here's how).

In March 2024, I was making roughly $50,000 a month. On paper, I'd made it.

That same month, I sat in my bedroom and cried. I'd already prepared my resume. I nearly quit.

The business was working. I wasn't.

I was grinding a model that was never built for me.

So I rebuilt, slowly. I let revenue drop on purpose while I found what fit me, and three things carried it.

Gratitude, on purpose, daily. Tony Robbins once called it the most powerful emotion on earth. I treat it as a practice, not a mood.

Ten minutes of silence, every day. It's how I hear my own thinking before the day fills my head with everyone else's.

And I stopped building around a number and started building around my family: trips with my mum, time with my wife, being there for Baby K every day.

Part of that rebuild was accepting something I still haven't shaken: I'll probably never feel fully good enough, no matter the number. And ironically, that acceptance has actually made me a happier husband, entrepreneur, and father.

✅ Happiness was never the reward for hitting the number. It became part of how I hit it.

Since that low, I've crossed S$1M+ in lifetime cash collected.

I haven't arrived. Some weeks it still stresses me out. This was never about being happy every day. It's about which direction you're facing.

If you're an entrepreneur grinding something that looks right on paper but feels wrong in your body, that's not a discipline problem. It might be the wrong formula.

Years ago, someone I looked up to offered to buy my business.

I was so lucky I said no.

He was going to help me scale it to multiple 7 figures, and it is easy to think that was the obvious yes. I had only just started, I was stressed, and almost nothing was working properly yet.

He was offering to fix every one of those things, and even today, I can't explain why I turned it down.

I still have no idea what my business would look like today if I said yes.

Because today, I know my business is smaller than it could have been. Plenty of people in my space make more money than me & more famous to.

But there are 5 things I got instead, and I would not swap one of them for a bigger business.

Hope this inspires you today:

I made 6 figures a year after overcoming these 6 fears.

There's no such thing as a fearless man (or woman).

But only people who are courageous, and those who are not.

I used to think as I grew my business, I'd have less fear than before.

However, each stage brought another version of fear: judgment, uncertainty, selling, not being good enough, failure, and being afraid to dreaming bigger than I believed I could.

But instead of trying to fight them...

I learned to acknowledge the fear, and have the courage to face them on.

(which also includes asking for help instead of doing it alone).

This helped me to make 6-figures/year while being a present dad & husband.

This should help you too:

I generated S$25,830 from one Facebook post during my wedding month.

It was not viral, and I did not have a giant audience.

The post worked because it had four important ingredients. But there was another part most people miss: the trust had been built before the offer appeared.

I broke down the exact post and why it worked.

Read the full breakdown at https://www.instagram.com/p/Db2G885ga7H/

Before you switch business again, check this one thing.

Marketing, then insurance, then co-living, then recruitment.

Those are the four lanes one of my private mentorship clients has moved through, in that order.

Every time a lane got sticky, he decided the lane was wrong for him, and he went looking for a better one.

A couple of weeks ago we finally looked at what was actually sticky each time.

It was the same thing in all four.

Every one of those lanes needed him to persuade people, face to face, again and again, and that's the part of the work he cannot stand.

Four different lanes, and all four ended at the same conversation he didn't want to have with himself.

I told him what I tell everyone at that point.

Everything you do will have problems.

Jumping doesn't fix that, it just resets the clock.

Then I told him to let the recruitment work go anyway.

A hard month is still just a hard month, but persuading people all day was the actual job in that lane, and he was NEVER going to want it.

Name the exact part of the work you've been dodging.

Then ask whether it disappears in the next lane, or whether it shows up again wearing different clothes.

If it shows up again, stay and solve it, because you'll pay that same price later with less time left on the clock.

If it genuinely disappears, go, and go without shame.

He told me it felt like something huge came off his shoulders.

✅ Every lane has a price, and the only real choice is which price you're willing to pay.

Pick one and start paying it.

He makes S$12,000 a month and hasn't grown in 5 years.

"10 years later, I will be exactly where I am now."

A guy said that to me on a call last year.

He wasn't struggling.

He had classes almost every day.

His income was around S$10,000 to S$12,000 a month, and it moved around a little.

Every single client had come to him through word of mouth, with no marketing at all.

And he was running at roughly 70% of what he could actually take on.

Then he kept going.

"Because I probably am still the same as I was like 5 years ago."

He'd already lived the same year five times.

That's the version of stuck that never announces itself.

Nothing goes wrong, nobody complains, the money keeps arriving, the days stay full, and the tiredness at the end of each day feels like progress.

What I said back to him was the plainest thing I know.

If it's not in your calendar, it's not your priority.

I still check my own calendar against that line.

Nobody sits down and decides to repeat five years.

It happens because the work that would change the next five is the only work with nobody chasing it, and everything else on the calendar has a person attached.

Which is why working harder never touches it.

Would you like me to personally set up, launch & grow your entire business with you?

For the first time since 2020, I’m looking to work with a small group of entrepreneurs on a much more customised, build-it-with-you basis.

That includes your:

✅ Core offer
✅ Funnel and landing pages
✅ Content and lead-generation system
✅ Sales scripts and workflows
✅ AI Second Brain and agents

Because this is the first round, I’ll never price it this low again. I’m also including a guarantee.

And whether you join or not, I have a bonus gift for you:

Lifetime access to 62+ of my best emails, tools and lessons from 2,200+ coaching calls and $150,000 worth of courses and mentorship.

S$100 sessions to S$6,000 programs in 6 months.

I was charging S$100 a session when I paid a mentor S$30K.

That was back in 2020, and it was almost the last of my savings.

I know how that sounds.

I've never once regretted it.

I was scared when I made the payment.

It didn't feel like courage at all.

But the moment the money was gone, the math changed.

S$100 a session was never going to pay that back.

So I had to build something actually worth S$6K, and I had to do it soon instead of someday.

Six months later I was selling S$6K programs and I'd crossed six figures.

Left on my own, I would have worked most of it out eventually, but it would have taken me about five years.

That S$30K compressed those five years into six months.

I've put more than S$150K into mentors since then, and every single time I'm buying the same thing, the years I don't have to spend figuring it out alone.

I wouldn't call it the best decision I ever made, but it was the best decision I could have made at that point.

If there's a number you've been sitting on for months, I know exactly how that feels, because I wasn't ready either.

Deciding is what made me ready.

You got this 💙

I just want a nice business, not a big one.

Her brother offered the money, and she felt chained.

She runs a medical device business with a junior sales team, and her brother is the one with the money.

On a group call this week she repeated what he keeps telling her.

"Hire the doctors. Hire the sales rep that will talk to doctors. Get an agency team. I have the funds for you."

Then in the same breath, she said this.

"I don't want to build a big business. I just want to build a nice business."

I said that if he has the funds for her, it also comes with numbers she has to hit.

She said, "for me, it feels like I'm honestly chained."

That's what I call I want but don't want energy.

Neither one of those wants is wrong.

She wants a calm business she actually enjoys running, and she also wants to grow it and help her family.

Both are real, both are switched on at the same time, and that is why nothing moves.

I told her straight that until she sorts this out, there will always be a cap on her growth.

What moves her is deciding out loud which want she's running this season.

It sounds like this: for this season I'm going to push a lot harder, I'm fine with that, and I know this is not what I do for the rest of my life.

That sentence takes the chain off, because now the pressure is something she picked instead of something being done to her.

And if something inside you won't let you make that call, that's what you work on first.

✅ A want you never say out loud still runs your calendar.

She said one more thing before we moved on, that it all sounds so logical while we're talking about it, but the emotions are tangled up in it.

That's exactly why smart people sit in this one for years.
